In this episode, I am joined by Sharon Collon from The Functional Family. We discuss ADHD coaching and how it works to support students living with ADHD, their teachers and families. We focus on practical strategies for supporting executive function, increasing engagement, dealing with emotions, and solving predictable problems. Sharon is an award-winning, credentialed ADHD Coach & Parent Consultant (who is families trained). She is passionate about helping families navigating ADHD create joyful, functional lives with ADHD. She loves anything that makes life easier with ADHD! Her husband and her three sons all live with ADHD (throw in some Autism, Tourettes, ODD, OCD, SPD and SLD too). As well as Sharon's lived experience, she has been researching ADHD for over 17 years, studied at ADDCA in New York and is PCC credentialed with the International Coaching Federation. Sharon has runs on the board, assisting over 40,000 families since The Functional Family was created. Sharon has won multiple awards, including Business Awards – Outstanding Education Service, AusMumpreneur – Disabled Business Excellence, People's Choice Leadership, People's Choice Making a Difference and the Cook's Community Award. Sharon lives in Southern Sydney and enjoys being near the sea, spending one-on-one time with her boys and her two boxer dogs… who are more like living cartoon characters than dogs.

Show notes I invited Sharon on because ADHD and learning difficulties often go hand in hand, with around 40% of people living with ADHD also living with dyslexia, dyscalculia or dysgraphia. We know that attention, attitude and positive relationships have a significant impact on learning outcomes, particularly for students living with learning difficulties. Sharon shares some fantastic strategies for engaging students and supporting their (and our) mental health. What does an ADHD coach do? We start by looking at what ADHD coaching covers. It's about making day-to-day life easier for students living with ADHD and their families and teachers. That includes things like time awareness, transitions, getting started on tasks, and building routines that actually work. Coaching is not therapy. It's focused on how you make practical day-to-day activities easier. One of the big ideas in Sharon's work is “predictable problems.” These are the same kinds of friction points that show up every day like getting dressed, brushing teeth, leaving the house and doing homework. The example Sharon gives about the toothbrush is a great one. The assumption was that it was a sensory issue. But it turned out the real problem was needing to go back upstairs after breakfast. The solution? Move the toothbrush downstairs. Done. Co-designing solutions A big part of Sharon's process is co-designing solutions with the child. When students living with ADHD have a say, they often come up with smart ideas, and they're more likely to stick with them if they've been part of designing the solution. You'll hear us talk a lot about building autonomy and doing the planning when everyone is regulated. Not during the heat of the moment. What do Pinball Flippers have to do with ADHD? Sharon also explains her brilliant “Pinball Flippers Open / Closed / Neutral” model. It's a way to quickly understand what state a student is in and how to respond. When a brain is open, it can take things in. When it's closed, it's overwhelmed and in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn mode. Our job is to help open the brain through praise, encouragement, novelty and whatever it takes to get our students engaged and open to learning. We also talk about how to support students in tutoring and classroom settings. I share one of my own strategies a collaborative whiteboard story that students add to each week. This builds in anticipation and (almost) guarantees a positive start to each session. Sharon suggests small “important jobs” like delivering a note to the office to give students a chance to regulate and reset. She also talks about planning exits in advance, so students don't wait until they're overwhelmed to step away. Body-doubling (getting expert help like tutors) can help a lot. Kids often respond well to the novelty of an external person, and as parents, we can't take on everything! Homework – often a predictable problem Homework is a big, predictable problem for many students. For younger students, Sharon often works with families to step away from homework altogether unless it's something that really matters. For older students, she focuses on breaking tasks down, setting time limits, and choosing the right time of day to work. Often, that's not after dinner! Five-minute entries work well: “Let's give it five minutes, and if it's awful, we'll stop.” And if you say five minutes, you stop at five minutes. That trust matters. We also touch on rewards and motivation. Reward charts with delayed incentives usually don't land well for students living with ADHD. “Now” matters. “Not now” doesn't. Immediate wins, visible progress, and having the end in sight make a much bigger difference. Throughout the episode, you'll hear both of us come back to the same idea: home needs to be a safe space. School can be full-on, especially for students living with learning difficulties. If home feels the same, there's nowhere for kids to self-regulate and get a break from the demands of school. Sharon's approach is all about reducing pressure, supporting regulation, and building routines that give everyone, kids and adults, more gas in the tank.

Hello! This is Episode 369, and in it, I’m talking with HOME Method member, Tatiana. She lives with her partner and three boys in regional Queensland, and is in the exciting stage of finalising their concept design and moving into preliminary drawings for their new family home. She’s back with her latest project update! [For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/369] In our last conversation, we met Tatiana at the very start of her journey. If you haven’t heard the first part of Tatiana’s project story, you can find it at Episodes 350 and 351. (The links for those episodes are here >>> www.undercoverarchitect.com/350 and www.undercoverarchitect.com/351 ) Since then, she’s been working closely with her building designer, and collaborating with her builder for input along the way, all while keeping a close eye on their square metre target / floor area size to suit a tight budget. In this episode, Tatiana shares how those budget constraints have actually been helpful in keeping the design disciplined and simple, and how they’re navigating decisions about size, layout, and even whether to keep what Tatiana refers to as a “luxury item” - a third toilet that would be a powder room. We also talk about her home design’s L-shaped layout, the changes they made to create a main entrance that works for their site, and how she’s balancing her own ideas with trusting her designer’s expertise. Plus, we explore upcoming decisions on roof design, ceiling heights, and how to create an alfresco area that works for their climate while staying cost-effective. If you’re in the early stages of planning and want to hear how another homeowner is collaborating with their team, managing a budget, and making key design choices before construction, I think you’ll find this episode full of ideas and insights.

Are you constantly walking on eggshells around your child with ADHD? Feeling like you're failing as a parent or just plain exhausted from the daily battles? You're not alone—and there's hope! In this episode, Sharon Collon shares the three simple but powerful skills that can transform your family dynamic and help you move from reactive to responsive parenting. Sharon, award-winning ADHD coach and founder of The Functional Family, introduces her signature CRC method—Curious, Regulated, and Clear. With over 17 years supporting families and her own lived experience, she knows traditional parenting advice often misses the mark for children with ADHD. Instead, Sharon's CRC approach is practical, research-backed, and designed to work with your child's brain, not against it. What You'll Learn Why most parenting strategies fail families with ADHD—and what to do instead The CRC Method: Curious: Shift from frustration to curiosity. See your child's behaviour as communication, not defiance. Ask, “I wonder what's going on for them in this moment?” to get to the root of tricky behaviours. Regulated: Manage your own emotional state first. Dysregulation is contagious! Learn simple ways to slow things down, model calm, and help your child regulate by leading by example. Clear: Give specific, achievable instructions. Ditch the vague “be good” and go for concise, one-step directions your child can actually follow. Less is more—sometimes just two words and a kind face do the trick. ⏰ Timestamps ⏰ 00:00 Transformative ADHD Parenting Skills 03:47 Curiosity Over Judgment 09:23 Concise Instructions Essential 10:42 ADHD Parenting: Key Skills Overview ------------------------------------------------------ Sharon's Top Tips Don't stack instructions—one thing at a time! Practice saying your instruction in your head before you say it out loud to keep it short and clear. Remember: Your child's dysregulation isn't about you—it's about their developing brain. The CRC method isn't just theory; it's a game-changer for daily life. Challenge of the Week Which CRC skill will you focus on first?

Steve Klein -- The Functional Family
Just wrapped up an incredible session on the Her Empire Builder Show with Sharon Collon. Sharon is a credentialed award winning ADHD coach & consultant who is passionate about helping people with ADHD have functional and fun lives. Sharon uses her lived experience, 15 years of research and formal training at ADDCA to help and support those living with ADHD. When her first son was diagnosed with ADHD she felt incredibly alone. There was information about how to help the child, but there was nothing on how to support the whole family. The journey of raising her beautiful boys with ADHD was isolating and exhausting. The stress severely affected her health. She realised that she was only surviving each day and things had to change. She began researching ADHD and developing systems to work with the ADHD brain. She realised that she could change the environment around her children to work with their strengths. She loves anything that makes life with ADHD easier! Sharon's company, The Functional Family, has assisted over 35,000 families and individuals with ADHD. She has created online support groups where parents can ask questions, connect and support each other. She offers one on one coaching, parent mentoring, a blog, podcast, a membership and a 6 week online program. She wants to help those with ADHD get back their time and energy, but most importantly create space for the good stuff!

Filly & Chris are joined with Sharon Collon from The Functional Family. Sharon is an award-winning ADHD coach. She not only has a fascinating story to share - overcoming her own autoimmune conditions due to the daily stress of raising 3 boys with severe ADHD - but she also shares SOOOO many gold nugget tips on how to identify ADHD in yourself and children, how to work with an ADHD brain, rather than trying to “fix” it, and manageable ways to bring more calm to the nervous system. This is a must-listen for anyone with (or suspected) ADHD, if you have a ADHD family member, or you're struggling with overwhelm, stress and ADHD-type signs and symptoms. About Sharon Collon Sharon is an award winning qualified ADHD coach who specialises in providing support and strategies for people with ADHD (and those that support them). Sharon lives in Sydney with her husband and 3 boys, all who have severe ADHD (throw in some tourette's and ODD in there too). Her home runs at such an intensity - it needs to be filmed for a documentary series. The daily stress burnt her out and it had a negative impact on Sharon's health. At a complete loss of how she was supposed to have a 'Functional Family' she began researching ADHD to try and learn more about ways to work with the ADHD brain and create a more joyful, streamlined home environment. What followed was a series of spectacular failures, weird experiments and then formal studying ADHD. Through it all, the Collon family found a way to make their life with ADHD work for them. Now Sharon helps others do the same. Whether it be through Adult ADHD Coaching, Parent Mentoring, the low cost membership, the 6 week program or the ADHD families Podcast, she provides a safe place for people with ADHD to learn about their brain and create strategies that work for them. In today's episode, Sharon talks to Chris & Filly about: Her own body burnout story - diagnosed with autoimmune psoriasis, Bell's palsy and chronic fatigue - after the birth of her third son, and trying to raise 3 boys with severe ADHD. The root-cause behind her body burnout - mentally Sharon felt strong, but her body felt constantly unsafe, like it was always battling in a war-zone. How Sharon started working with her childrens' ADHD brains, rather than trying to “fix” them - which then allowed her to heal and regulate her system. Signs that you or your children may have ADHD. Why having the label “ADHD” is beneficial, and can heal inner child dysfunctional beliefs of being “lazy”, “too much”, “broken”, “irresponsible”. The relationship between ADHD and burnout. Tips to support hyper-focusing, including use of technology and scheduling in time to eat and regulate the nervous system. Sharon shares her free resource - The Predictable Problem Worksheet - which helps to reduce stress and overwhelm.

It's here guys. We're in the thick of it, and we don't mean mashed potatoes and gravy. We mean the holiday season. Dun, Dun, Dun! If you grew up with a dysfunctional family, you probably had at least a few traumatic holidays with them and that can make you a little skittish when the turkey and jingle bells start coming out. Family is hard. Holidays are stressful. But if you're dealing with your own family at least you know what to expect. However, what if you're not dealing with them? What if you're meeting your partner's family for the first time instead? And what if they're…. “normal”? That sounds like it would be a relief, but it can be equally if not even more intimidating. When you're only used to dysfunction, trauma, and abuse it can be difficult to know how you should interact with a family that is close-knit and loving, where no one screams or throws chairs or burns the food just to be spiteful. We get it, we've been there ourselves. So if you're stressed and struggling to figure out how to navigate this holiday season with the future in-laws we've put together a list of questions for you to consider and talk over with your partner so you can feel a little more prepared for whatever uncertainty comes your way.

To effectively apply biblical principles for parenting in our families, we need to understand that the foundational problem in the home – and in our lives in general – is our reliance on our own skills and resources instead of depending on God. Identifying our self-sufficiency and inviting God to help us are the keys to allowing Him to begin His healing and transformative work.
Is your family dysfunctional? If so, how can you experience the joy of a functional family? Are you serious about walking with God, treating your family right, and striving for peace and unity in your home? If so, that dysfunction can turn to just FUN as you learn to enjoy a functional family with God's help.
Over the years we have encountered some extremely awesome people. This week our guests are two of those people, Amanda & Dashawn from the “This Functional Family Podcast”. Recently they have surpassed 10k subscribers & 1 million views on a reel. We're super excited to have them join us. We share our thoughts on partner or purpose , partner or passion and can marriage be boring? We take a trip to the bank and realize that there are different types of relationship currencies in which we all make withdrawals & deposits! Finally we are given a few gems that we now call “morsels” such as proactive people prepare while reactive people repair. This episode is full of loaves of insightfulness that will leave you thirsty for more. Take a sip and enjoy!
